I wanted to get a Grimace out there to go with the Ronald McDonald I just did. I've learned more about Grimace in the last few days than I ever expected to, I'll say that. Do you know anything interesting about the big purple guy?

In many ways, Ronald's is a face I've grown up with. I saw him every Saturday morning, he was on my Happy Meal box, I would eat his head from a McDonaldLand cookie package, and he's on those plastic bibs that teenagers still like to goof around with.

Yeah, I get mixed feelings about the whole thing. I know he's a mascot for a huge fast food corporation, but he's also a permanent part of my childhood. What can you say?

You'd have to think; If McDonald's had first opened today, there probably never be a Ronald McDonald, what with the 'socially-conscious', do-gooder, "Oh, think of the CHILDREN!" generation we live in.

Today it's a classic Doctor Who character, Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart - also known as simply "The Brigadier". The actor who portrayed him, Nicholas Courtney passed away this last February. Thank you for being the Doctor's trustiest companion, Mr. Courtney.

On a different note, I wanted to quickly share with you another creative expression of Who-love; Larissa emailed me to share something... unique. She actually draws Doctor Who characters on bananas. Yes, bananas. Check 'em all out here!

About Me & Springfield Punx

Springfield Punx is a little pet project of mine. The idea of doing fan art parodying some of my favorite characters and stars in such a fun and simple style got me hooked immediately.
Some of these guys and gals have appeared on the Simpsons and I could just work from that, but most I had to do from scratch. Check back often for new Punx!

I believe to the best of my knowledge that the artwork here would fall under the "fair use" doctrine. This is meant to be a fan art site like so many others out there. These are parodies that I do for fun. I'm not selling anything on the site and I don't wish to be sued. I do this art for the love and enjoyment of the characters/people featured here. Neither do I seek to do damage to the characters/likenesses or their owners, and I believe, if anything, this blog would do the opposite. If you are the owner of any of these characters/likenesses and you would like them to be removed from here, I will do that. Thanks!!
